You found differences between Eastern and Western astrology   (*gasp*    how shocking!) and pondering those differences shorted out your neural circuitry.

No, you daft bint, I found out that astrologers weren't actually playing with a full deck.
They have too few constellations in the zodiac, fudge the issue of newly-discovered planets and can't answer the issue of precession. And that's not even mentioning gravitational effects, relative masses and geocentricity.
It was the incompatibility between astronomy and astrology that led me to believe it to be bunk, not any differences between eastern and western astronomy. Between science and pseudo-science, not between two brands of pseudo-science.
